I applied for a nursing job and it took some time to hear back. Once I did, I was called in to interview with the manager. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and included a tour of the unit.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you delt with a difficult patient or customer and how did you handle it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Catholic Health (Rockville Centre, NY)
Interview
The hiring manager was very late (and then proceed to blame me saying I was too early even though the interview was rescheduled to accomodate her meeting), she answered phone call during the interview, kept repeating questions, she said I didn't have enough experience (which is fine, but I wish she looked at my resume beforehand instead of wasting my time), she kept boosting how great the hospital is, but asked me very little about myself and my clinical experience. In conclusion she didn't seem interested at all.
